PlotChain: Addressing Key Challenges in Land Ownership

The Challenges We Solve

1. Land Ownership Fraud

• Eliminates duplicate ownership claims and document forgery by using immutable blockchain records.

2. Lack of Transparency

• Streamlines land registration and transaction processes with publicly auditable blockchain data.

3. Corruption in Land Approvals

• Reduces bribery and manipulation by integrating a decentralized government approval layer.

4. Inefficient Record Keeping

• Replaces fragile, paper-based systems with secure, digital, and tamper-proof records.

5. Encroachment and Land Mafia Activity

• Deters illegal land possession and sales through transparent, traceable transactions.

Challenges Faced During Development

1. Smart Contract Integration with TypeScript

• Initially, integrating smart contracts into the TypeScript-based application was challenging.
• Tried multiple tools and libraries, including ethers, wagmi, and vue.
• Finally achieved successful integration using thirdweb, which streamlined the process.

2. Handling Polygon Mapping

• Mapping the correct coordinates onto the in-built layer was a significant hurdle.
• Ensuring precise alignment of the polygonal boundaries with the existing mapping layers required extensive debugging and adjustments.

3. Accurate Area Calculation

• Calculating the area with the most accurate coordinates posed a technical challenge.
• Required precision algorithms and thorough testing to ensure accurate and reliable area computations for land plots.
